Paulding Lectures
Noted Reviewer Diacuuel
'Othe llo,' 'Heart of
Midlothian'
The Dramlltic Club of Nazareth
College sponsored two lectures,
givlm by Dr. Frederick Pauldinll'.
at the Nazareth _Academy audi­torium
on April 30 and May I. Dr.
Paulding di scussed and dramatized
Shakespeare', "0 the II 0" and
SC:O~t'l "Heart 0( Midlothian."
Dr. Paulding'. long experience
as an actor and as a reviewer­fol'
17 years he bas been giving his
interpretations of great literary
works at the Waldorf Astoria in
New York_l\Iakes him excellently
qualified a~ 1\ eritic, /I dramatist
and an interpreter.
In his review of "Othello," Dr.
Paulding stressed "the vital ap­peal,
the living quality" which
makel it one of Shakespeare's
best·known works and one of the
greateu tragedies of all time. He
began his review by a short critic­ism
of the play nnd a brief discus­sion
of the importance and the
charactel'!l of Othello, De!ldemona,
lago and Emelia. According to
Dr. Paulding, Othello'. gullibility,
Desdemona'. decision "to take the
(asiest way out"-to compromise,
and lago's absolute obsession to
do evil and to cause trouble, wm·
bined with his hatred for Othello,
make the play the awful tragedy
that it is. In hia dramatic inter.
pretation of "Othello," Dr. Pauld·
ing took the pl/ly /lct by act, ex·
plaining the story as he acted the
parta of the various characten.
Perhaps he rOle to his greatest
height in his interpretation of thc
part or lago. Here, with little
apparent effort, he showed all the
inate wickedness, the incredible
lack of mercy, the awful cruelty
and the constant scheming wh:ch
make Othello's ancient one of the
won t of all Shakespeare's villains.
Othello himsel!, in Dr. Pauldini's
dramatization, is alwaYI noble but
a victim or that simplicity and un­sophistication
t hat i. 110 often com­bined
with true nobility. Actually

Colored spotlights reflected on
the ballroom, gracefully arched in
green and lavender Fashionably
gowned demoiselles and their well­groomed
escorts danced to the
melodious strains of Sax Smith

Club Hears
Father Burns
"Some years ago the position
of probation officer was considered
one of minor importance. Lately,
due to t he efforts of Mr. Edwin J.
Cooley, at present on the faculty
of Notre Dame University, the
position haa become much more
important."
Thus the Rev. Francis B. Burns
of St. Bernard's Seminary opened
his case before the sociology stu­dents
of the col1ege on April 25.
The case which was discussed
had been recorded by a probation
officer and was presented admir_
ably by Father Burns.
The social work classes are look­ing
forward to another visit from
Father Burns. He is expected to
return to the college in the very
near future to present another
case.

Romeo and Juliet
The Clare Tree Major produc­tion
of "Romeo and Juliet" which
was presented at the Eastman
Theatre on April 14, was spon­sored
by the Freshman class. \t .
was a worthy vehicle for the Fresh­men's
sponsoring ; the work of the
players wa~ fini shed and the cast,
with very few exceptions, was
well-chosen.
Although no individual player
could be described, even remotely,
tn a great actor and while none
of the performances was actual1y
outstanding, most of the members
of the cast seemed to surpass that
mo;t hated of all words in the
t heatrical world, "adequate."
Velma Roy ton made an appeal­'
ng and a convincingly youthful
Juliet. She seemed to possess the
key which opens the door to t he
curious and delightful combination
that is Juliet--her naivete, her
artless charm which at times al­mOot
reaches sophistication, her
great love, and her loyalty to her
parents. Wendell Whitten was a
romantic Romeo who exhibited the
hero's weakness better than his
occasional strength. Clare Tree
Major, as Juliet's Nurse, and
Curtis Cooksey, as Mercutio, gave
two of the best performances in
the minor parh. Norma Nelson
was a gay and youthful Benvolio
It seems to us that the play
could have been edited more care_
fully. The five acts and the many
~cencs, when contrasted to the
usual and modern three-act play,
seemed too long and, f or many,
the length surely detracted from
the beauty of the Shakespearean
t!·agedy.

Editor of "The Gleaner"
Nazareth College
Rochester, N. Y.
Dear Editor;
The students of the history
classes of Nazareth Academy wish
to thank Sister Teresa Marie, dean
of Nazareth College, for the enjoy_
able lecture which she recently
gave them on the Renaissance art­ists
and their masterpieces.
The description and the history
of the paintings, which were the
subject of this lecture, were of
great interest to all. In Raphael's
"Sistine Madonna," Pope Sixtus
and St. Barbara, both beloved by
Italians at that period, are beauti­fully
represented and the ski11ful
blending of colors is also note­worthy.
It was of interest to
learn that Andrea del Sarto, whose
"Holy Family" claimed the ad·
miration of all, chose his wife as
the model for many of his master­pieces.
The ot her masterpieces of
Raphael, Murillo, and Corregio
were also greatly appreciated.
This visit at Nazareth College
was, indeed, profitably and enjoy­ably
spent.
Yours very truly,
MOniCa\ DOUghert y,
\ Secretary.

and Dance
The Nazareth College Glee Club
with the St. Bonaventure Glee
Club, presented "An Evening of
Song" at the Columbus Civic Cen­ter
Auditorium on April 17.
The St. Bonaventure Club sang
particularly well Handel's "Halle­lujah,
Amen." Among their semi­classical
numbers, "Sylvia" and
"Hol1ing Down to Rio" were out­standing.
The solos of Mr. Wil_
liam S. Taylor, Mr. Charles Maz­zarella
and Mr. Tom J. Insco were
splendidly rendered in the Ameri_
cana group which included "Gisr_
ina Mia" and "One Flower Grows
Alone."
The Nazareth Glee Club featured
Miss Mary Rita O'Connell and
Miss Dorothy Rankin as soloists.
Among the Nazareth selections
were "De Sandman" and "Hark
to the Mandolin." They were sung
with the perfection that comes only
from long practice.
The concert ended with two selec­tions
'sung by the combined glee
clubs, "The Bells of Aberdovey"
and "Short'nln' Bread" and the
singing of "Unfurl t he Brown and
White" by the Bonaventure Club
and Nazareth's "Alma Maler."
A dance in the bal1room followed
the concert. Music was furnished
by the St. Bonaventure Royal Col��legians
under the direction of Mr.
William S. Taylor.

A New Constitution
Now thllt the Hllndbook hIlS been is~ ued and the
new constitution published for the first time, it
seems opportune to say a few words regarding it.
For lome time the college, a& a whole, and the
Council. in particular, have fett the need of a new
Constitution. A college constitution, due to expan_
sion, and in order to fill new needs must neces­&
arily be revised at intervals. The old under_
graduate constitution had done ita duty and th ..
time had come for a change. "0 temporal 0
mores!" cried Cicero, and the Council ech.ocd his
cry. Times and customs hsve changed and henc~
the new constitution.
Under the new ruling3, a great deal of power
which formerly rested with the faculty is now
vuted in the Council. Student government has be·
come more of II relllity now and the student body,
under the Council, will havc the privilege of exer­cising
its voice more than formerly.
The Council has promised-and threatencd­that
the new constitution will be carried. out to the
Ialt letter. The eooperation 01 the studenta will be
needed more than ever in order to maintain the
newly acquired powers.
A word of praise is due to the entire Council
and, in partieular, to Mary Louiu Bennett. Preai·
dent of the Undergrndunte Auociation, for their

cspecially fitting that our .sorrow be expreued duro

In each college year May stands out as a period

slim grsy ghost. a constant menace that is coming
closer and clo,er. Realize it now, before it is too
late! Spring i. but a prelude to J une examin­ations.
Spring fever is rampant; languorou~ days an
pre!ersble to studies. No one knows it better t han
we! But we must disagree with the Walrus: it is
not thc time "to speak of many thing~ ." These
arc days mean1 for conveulltion-but not. for us!
Rather it i, the time to think of many things;
comprehensivu and papers soon due; major~ and
minors and electives.
The blue skies of May are but deceptive beau­ties:
if we look closely enough, we will !;Ce a faint
foreshadowing of the clouded state of carly June.
Thc sweet, 50(t wind is but the calm before the
storm.
Tske heed now! The thin spectre of exams may
seem distant enough. But remember-fresh spring

will seem even farther aWlly through those awful

How's Your College Spirit?
Collegc Spirit! What does it mean to you, to
all of us! Does it mean merely enthusiasm f or
your college when it does the thing that you think
it ~hould do? Doe~ it mean loud talking and high­sounding
phrases, backed by thc desire for praiae
and totally devoid of sincerity? Is it flaunting col­lege
banners, wcaring college rings, singin&, college
songs! Can it be found by occasional attendance
tit a c1a8ll meeting, by lending moral support to
class activities, by taking 5nap courses or by pan­ing
finals with a mark just under the wire?
All of us will agree that it means none 01 theae.
But stOll and think--does it mean a ny of thea!! to
Y~I!? If it doe~. stop and think sgain; what are
you going to do about it? No college can exist
succcSllfully if its students adopt the idea that their
part in college life amounl$ to little, that their
loyalty and support are not needed.
You sre important. The college needs your en·
thusiasm. Give it now a~ you have generously

Simple Suggestions
- On the Dot
Undoubtedly the most abused
agent in OUT modern ungram­matical
grammar is that particular
"ymbal which signifies that a com­plete
thought (?) has been ex­pressed-
the dot. It may be pres­ent
in any shape or si~e, often­t
'me3 being mistaken ror an ink
blot or a defect in the paper. And
then again, it may not even be
present! Its omission is a faVorite
mistake of freshmen and others
of doubtful intelligence, and re­s
ults in a conglomeration of run­in
thoughh, the sum total of ideas
remaining always less than one.
Thus we cite an example, imagin_
ary but plausible, from an essay
written by one of verdant hue :
"1 went over to Mary's house last
night to make fudge with her
Father called up while I was there
and asked me to bring home a
package of tobacco For Mother
was out and he was staying at
home with the baby." However,
when the dignity of upper class is
reaphed, the rudiments of English
composition wll! have been sound­ly
drilled into those current voids.
T~eY'll be in their dotage, you
mIght say.
The poor freshman can be for­given
for her misdeeds, but our
so-called literati are responsible
and should be held accordingly.
Let the reader fancy that she has
reached the thrilling climax of one
of our newer bits of literary rub­bish,
so highly advertised and so
little understood. Let her imagine
that the author is an exponent of
the dot-dot system. With a wildly
palpitating heart, increased blood
pressure and dilated pupils, she
turns the page to the thrilling last
few paragraphs, "It is night ... .
the hms .. . eternal and
shadows against the moon. . dark
purple . shadows ...
Stars flicker. . gold. . and the
black of the western night
They stand alone. . their eyes
meet. Then, the thud of horses
. A shout.. A shot . it is
over Silence ... the hills .
eternal.. "
The reader is supposed to estab_
lish a connection between certain
dots. Our idea is that if the
authors of current literature of
this type have to use symbols, why
not let them use the Morse Code?
Then again. they could have foot
notes, giving at least minor con­nectillg
clues. If a reader should
be so fortunate as to establish a
sensible connection, let her be
given a prize, preferably a share
in t he royaltie3. Evell better
would be the mailing of a supple­ment
containing the missing
words. As it is, declphering those
dots is as f utile as trying to
assemble a jig-saw puzzle, the
pieces of which are the same s:z!!,
shape and color.
Freshmen may, with proper
handling, learn the eorr!!ct use of
the dot. Our contemporary men

MISSION LETTER .•- .• The College Paintings .._ ..
"We had a funeral for one of
the village notables. After the
Mass the people 'formed a long
proc!!ssion. and despite the rain
marched to the grave halfway up
a mountainside. The casket,
cal'ved out of a tree trunk, was
carried suspended on two long
poles by coolie~ . In accordance
with Chinese custom, the mourn­ers
were garbed in white (it often
happens that the hired mourners
fIIr outnumber the relatives and
friends of the deceased). The
procession moved along amid loud
talking and laughter, lind, to add
to the din, firecrackers we!'e set off
at inte rval ~. A fter the body had
beell buried in its ~hallow grave.
th!! people returned to the house
of the deceaslld where a banquet
awaited them. No money is spared
at these banquets, lind if neclls­~
ary the people sometimes go so
fllr as to mortgage their rice fields
to cover the e.xp-en.se." "One does not appreciate the
meaning of a crowded bus until he
struggles into one of these tiny
Chinese affairs. The passellger
capacity is unllmited, and, of
course, each person brings along
his luggage, which may be any_
thing from squealing pigs to large
baskets of rice. It's Iota of fun
riding over mountains for hours
on one of these buses, buried un_
der baggage of every description.
Dangerous curves? Oh yes, there
are many. and none of them pro­tected
by buffer fences; and the
driver, intent ollly on making a
record trip, flies over and past the
bad spots with all the abandon of
a New York taxicab driver trying
to make an early train at the
Penn' Station; and the poor buried
passenger is all t he while sub­limely
ignorant of the possihle
short cut to the valley below."
of letters probably are too deeply
enmeshed in the apparent lascin­nation
of the dot ever to use it
correctly. Why can't thes!! modern
int!!llec t uals write lik!! their pre­dec!!
ssors? Can you imagine an
individual reading Goldsmith's
"Vicar of Wakefield" and trying
to establish a connection between
allY dota that Oliver might have
been indin!!d to substitute for
words? Not even that trusting
idealist would stoop to the dot
~ystem. Can you in your wildest
dreams imagine the downright
Macaulay calling it a dot instead
of a spade? Even Horace chose
,<;ubtleties in preference to dots.
Far it must have been from Taci­tus
even to think of so taxing the
imagination of his reader.
Well-dota stop, but words go
on for ever. Shakespeare will be
a hest seller when the dots of this
generation are buried under the
sands of time. But we must live
and let live, even extending the
pI'ecioua elixir to the Purveyors of
the Dot.
Two years ago an air of mys­tery
pervaded the halls of our
college. Large boxes of varied
shapes made t heir appearance in
the lower halls. No one knew
what they contained and th!! won.
der grew until finally, enthusiasm
lind loud exclamations greeted
their eontents_ They were copie~
of some of the greatest of Italian
paintillgs. We learned that they
had been purchased for the college
by our dean, Sister Teresa Marie,
during her sojourn in Europe. The
paintings were placed at various
points in the college to await the
building of their future home,
"the greater Nazareth College."
Since most of them had long heen
familiar to us through prints or
copies of prints, we became quite
indifferellt to them and accepted
them as merely part of the mural
decorations.
After two years of rather apa_
thetic acceptance of their pres_
ence, would it not be well to ex­amine
more closely the works of
the collection. said to be valued
at more than three thousand dol­lars,
and learn something of both
painting and painter?
The Virgin Mary is the subject
of most of the paintings. We have
several of Raphael's paintings so
let us t urn to this great artist of
the Renaissance first. In the large
reception room i! the Sistine Ma_
donna, in its striking gold frame,
modelled exactly on that of the
original, with great golden pillars
- fit setting for its celebrated
theme. Raphael's art here lies in
the expression rather than in the
color. It depicts the Holy Mother
and Child emerging from highest
heaven, worshipped by St. Barbara
and POP!! Sixtus II. Raphael's
patron. The green altar hangings
have been drawn back suddenly,
disclosing "a vision that is for all
time." In this picture, Raphael
united "his deepest thought, his
profoundest insight, his completest
loveliness: ' It is his last, but his
greatest Madonna and it has been
spok!!n or as "the apex or all re_
ligious art. 111\ e nlightenment of
t he world." The whole is so
arranged that the central figure
has no count!!rpart, but a number
of favorable contrasts. The Ma­donna
alone is standing; the other
figures are kneeling and on II
lower level. She alone conl ronts
t he spectator in an absolutely
vertical line. completely silhou­etted
against a bright background.
The others are incorporated with
the wall, they have no '·o.i~ol1 d'ctre
in themselves: they exist only in
reference to the form in the cen­tral
axis, for which the utmost
clarity and power are reserved.
Nothing is left to chance: th!! Pope
look~ up at the Madonna, St. Bar_
bara down at the childre'n on the
edge of the p:cture and t hus car!!
is taken thnt the eye of the spec­tator
is led into the correct chan-nels.
The original is not in the
Sistine Chapel but in the Dresden
Gallery.
On the opposite side of the room
is a copy of the upper part of the
Madonna of Foiigno, also by
Raphael. The original is in the
Vatican. It was !)ainted for
Segismondo Conti, s!!cretary to
Pope Julius II, as a thanksgiving
for his escape from a falling
meteor. Here the Madonna sits
in a glory, holding the Christ
Child whose eyes rest on the sup_
pliants below. In the copy we
see only the Mot her and Child, but
in the original the town of Foligno
is shown , with the meteor flashing
across the sky.
The other Raphael painting is
the "Madonna della Sede~ in the
smaller reception room. This "Ma­donna
of the Chair" is one of the
best known of all Madonllas. Mary
is depicted in all the beauty of
her pride in her Son. She is bend_
ing her head toward the Child and
is clasping Him closely to her.
Behind t hem stands a very lovely
S1. John who looks adoringly upon
Mary and the Infant. The frame
is very much like ' that of the
original in the Pitti Gallery, Flor­ence.
On the right of the entrance
hall is the "Visitation" of Mariotto
Albertinelli. This painting is a
triumph of pictorial action and
was painted in 1503, when the
artist was but twenty-nine years
of age. Its conception is pure and
beautiful, blending harmoniously
with the background. Albertin eIli
has skillfully s how n Mary's
superiority over her cousin by the
rapid steps of Elizab!!th in greet_
ing and a slight inclination of the
older woman's head. The shadow
011 Elizabeth's face as contrasted
to the face of the Virgin further
emphasizes the idea. The original
of the "Visitation" is in theUffizi
Gallery in Florence.
Coreggio's "Virgin Adoring the
Christ Child" is on the left of the
entrance hall. Here the Virgin is
r epresented kneeling on a stone
step before the Child Who looka
up at His Mother and stretches 1\
tiny arm towards her. She, half
in play, half in tend!!r adoration,
raises her hands over Him. Be_
hind the two is a shadowy setting
of architecture alld landscape, set­ting
off the figures so perfectly
that a radiance is emitted f rom
t hem. The original of this paint_
ing is also in the Uffizi Gallery.
Towards t he upper hall is the
"Immaculate Conception" painted
by Murillo, the greatest of all
Spanish ecclestiastical painters.
The painting was done f or a hos­pital
in Seville and shows the
Mother of God as she appeared to
Beatrix da Silva, a Portuguese

The Widow Waltzes
The long shin'ng roadster aped
along the sizzling concrete. Anger
flashed in the gray eyes of CAS­!
IIIndra, Yes, SAndrA was angry,
furiously angry! She had not
minded miS$ing Dick's swimming
party ; or even Gail's garden party.
She had not minded spending the
hot summer afternoon at the Chil­dren'a
Hospital. What she did
mind-Sandra'a lovely handa with
t heir ahell pink nails tightened on
the wheel ; her shapely white pump
pressed lower; the black car flew.
Oh, what she did mind was tho
widow!
For two yea", ever since her
return from college, CaSllandra
had quarreled with Dr. John Page.
Yet, for two years Ihe had con­s
ide red Dr. Page her own prop­erty.
And then the widow!
Rain or shine, every Tuuday
found Cassandra at Dr . Page'.

Today the babies had been hot and

bit of energy into "The Three

middle of Papa Bear', growl, tiny
Carol gave an angry cry which
melted into heart broken win.
"Ta", TaM! Ruth broke my
doll !"
Of course, just at this point
Angela Chandler would appear in
the doorway. Behind her was Dr.
John.
"CallllBndra, what is the matter
dear!" s miled Angela, totally
ignoring the fact that her ac­quaintance
with Sandra was moat
recent and rather chilly.
"There, there, my precious
baby. Don't c ry. See Angela',
pretty bag."
And fickle Carol, Sandra's own
favori te, sm'led t hrough her teara!
" Et tu, Brute," murmured Cas­sandra.
" I don't blame you for loaing
pstience on a hot day like this,"
said Angela over Carol', dark
head "I don't Bee how you do so
much. Do you, Doctor? But t hen,
you're so capable I gue!l!l I'm
just helplelU.! I try, but I just
don't seem to accomplish any­t

Doctor?"
"No, I wouldn't lay you were

John. "You know we have to

" Doctor," the blue eyes arew

bold, but I do get so lonesome.

I'm so young, I get lonely. Do
you ~uppo~e you could take me to

" Why, er "

waver in reCuling. "I'll see ),ou
there. I'm going with Dick
Sealt."
Nothing in Sandra's manner
showed her hurt. For two ye8ft
she and Dr Page had attended the
Count ry Club dance.! together. She
began to talk volubly on the
vi rtues of cod liver oil, and what
it had done for Carol. In two
minutes she had succeeded in 8'<'t·
ting rid of Angela. Dr. Page's
keen, brown eyes twinkled mys­te
riously as he followed her .
Ca!l!landra seilled down and
started " Little Red Riding Hood,"
and, mentally picturing the wolf
with golden hair and blue eyes,
made her description so savage
that her ~ mal1 audIence began to
whimper. Fortunately, Miss Wells
arrived to relieve her and Sandra
made her escape.
"I'll show him," . he vowed tak­ing
the ci nder drive on two wheel •.
" I'm not jealous! But if that
widow think!l---." She slammed
the door with a vengeance ; dashed
across the wide terrace, through
the door and d:aled O:ck Seatt's
number.
By eight o'clock Cauandra wal
a vision in white Promptly at
nine_thirty, she entered the Coun.
try Club with Dick. Tall, fair
and wealthy, Dick spent m03t of
his spa re time propeling to Cas­sandra.
The dr e!l!ling room was a r iot
of color and of gossip, and the
center of attraction was Angela,
subtle and br eath_taking in a
creation of blue net.
Sandra, after a swift glance in
the mirror, lied ; and Dr. Page
glancing up, saw her descending
the broad stairway-and wished
he were an artist.
Despite all the wiles of the
widow, Cassandra stilI had more
than a few cuts; and had anyone
stopped to conaide.·, she had more
than u~ ual to ~ay. Her conver·
sation varied from the weather to
trains on formals, but her eyes in­sisted
on following jU$t one
